Product Description:
Caney Paxton wanted his cafe to have the biggest and brightest sign in Eastern Oklahoma-the "opening soon" part was supposed to be just a removable, painted notice. But a fateful misunderstanding gave Vietnam vet Caney the flashiest joke in the entire state. Twelve years later, the once-busy highway is dead and the sign is as worn as Caney, who hasn't ventured outside the diner since it opened. Then one blustery December day, a thirtyish Crow woman blows in with a three-legged dog in her arms and a long-buried secret on her mind. Hiring on as a carhop, Vena Takes Horse is soon shaking up business, the locals, and Caney's heart...as she teaches them all about generosity of spirit, love, and the possibility of promise-just like the sign says.

It's another great all-American story, people from all over the world struggling to understand one another and make their own way, colliding in strange and random events that form a complex and rich whole. Letts is a perennial optimist about the goodness in people's hearts, the richness and wholesomeness of middle-America, and the fulfillment you get from friendship. Her books are peppered with the harsh realities of poverty, abuse and neglect, but she re-works them into stories of triumph and hope ... Read More

I enjoyed the Honk and Holler, just as much as Where the Heart Is. Billie Letts has done it again. It's a heart warming, but never sappy, novel about a real cross section of Americans. I'm especially glad to see a Vietnamese immigrant given a high profile; and he was my favorite character. Her dialog and situations, as usual, are very believable and come off as quite natural. Highly recommended.
